Hadith 22:163

Al-Fadl ibn Dukayn narrated to us, he said: Musa ibn Ali narrated to us, he said: I heard my father narrating from Uqbah ibn Amir, he said: The Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) came out to us while we were in the Suffah. He said: "Which of you would like to go out every day to Buthan or al-Aqiq and bring from there two large-humped she-camels without committing a sin or severing ties of kinship?" We said: "Yes, O Messenger of Allah, we all would like that." He said: "Does one of you not go out to the mosque and learn or recite two verses from the Book of Allah? That is better for him than two she-camels, and three is better for him than three, and four is better for him than four, and [so on] according to their number in camels."

حدثنا الفضل بن دكين قال حدثنا موسى بن علي قال سمعت أبي يحدث عن عقبة بن عامر قال خرج إلينا رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ونحن في الصفة فقال أيكم يحب أن يغدو كل يوم إلى بطحان أو العقيق فيأتي منه بناقتين كوماوين في غير إثم ولا قطيعة رحم قلنا بلى يا رسول الله كلنا نحب ذلك قال أفلا يغدو أحدكم إلى المسجد فيعلم أو يقرأ آيتين من كتاب الله خير له من ناقتين وثلاث خير له من ثلاث وأربع خير له من أربع ومن أعدادهن من الإبل
